Experience the magic of Ravenna: an exclusive tour of the most beautiful mosaics.

This special one-hour tour, designed to offer you a unique and captivating experience, will take you on a journey to discover Ravenna's most famous and iconic mosaics, either before the crowds arrive (9:00 a.m. option) or after the crowds have already left (5:30 p.m. option).

Accompanied by a licensed tour guide with over 10 years of experience, you will delve into the millennia-old history of Ravenna, the ancient capital of no fewer than three empires.

The tour includes a visit to the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, a magical and deeply spiritual place where the Roman Empress Galla Placidia found her final resting place. Let yourself be captivated by the symbolism of the mosaics, such as the starry sky and the doves drinking from the fountain. Next, we will visit the Basilica of San Vitale, a masterpiece of Byzantine art and architecture, where you can admire the world-famous imperial processions of Justinian and Theodora, the Christ Pantocrator, and other mosaics of extraordinary beauty, set among Oriental marbles and striking plays of light.

At the end of the tour, your guide will provide you with a map of Ravenna's historic centre and will tell you how to get to 3 other magnificent UNESCO World Heritage sites included in your ticket.

An unforgettable and exclusive experience, as we will visit the monuments before organised groups arrive or after they have already left. This is an intimate tour, designed for a small group to allow for better interaction with your guide, and it's captivating because you'll discover stories, anecdotes, and interesting facts that you won't find in books.
